PROGRESS NOT PERFECTION: SEPTEMBER "SCHOOL DAYS"

OOOOOOOKAY. ;)

Sinus pain is killing me today! Just did a neti pot treatment. I had tried to do that in the past but couldn't get it to work, today it ran right out of my other nostril just fine :) Hope that helps, I don't want to take anything. Might try some ibuprofen and mucinex, don't want to take any more migraine meds for a day or two.

So today is the day for LIC! Lots to do today as hubby is headed off to visit his parents in FL early Monday morning, and he and I both work all day Sat and Sun so got to do all getting ready today. I get to haul him off to the airport at 5:30 in the morning on Mon then go to work all day...so if I'm gonna do LIC I better get it done today.

Peng, hope you are feeling good still and don't get the virus! However if you didn't feel like working out...it might be on its way :(

FnV- OMG THAT WAS TOTALLY HILARIOUS! ;) LOL...I feel foolish

Stacy- I watched the first half of the game...WTH was Cam Newton's problem? I finally get a chance to watch him play and he looks like total crap?!?!?! Oh well I like the Giants as well and they looked good...haven't checked to see the final score.

Happy last day of SUMMER! (woo-hoo, I hate summer!)
 
We all jumped earlier when a huge kaboom of thunder rang out, shook the house and knocked something over in the attic, which is Hubby’s problem now.

Today is my odd-jobs day. odd job 1) kill strange bug in bathroom * check* Ewww! It is that time of year when the like to invade the house.

Andrea, I've heard of neti pots but never had the nerve to try one, I'm afraid I'd drown myself.

Faith, passing off your hurtful comments as a joke doesn't change that fact that they still hurt. My Gpa died of emphysema; there's a big difference between a cookie and a cigarette.

Sadly, LIC is not going to happen today. I made an attempt, and man that music is *fun*, but I just couldn't keep up. I'm feeling really light headed and clumsy and just all around crappy today, so I decided to do vacuuming max instead to help get some of the pesky allergens out of the house. I figure two hours of that is equivalent to something, and I also cleaned the bathroom. Now, I must rest!

Peng, I was thinking while vacuuming, that if that indeed was a joke, I guess the reason none of us "got it" was because we were all hurt. Note to self, in the future, if and when I am apologizing for something, that is not a good time to make a joke. Glad you got your creepy bug, I vacuumed up a few spiders and I sure hope that Dyson suction kills them when they go whirling into the canister!
 
I did Cathe's TB Trisets 'TB Scrambled' premix. I had weights everywhere; with split workouts I don't have to get everything I own out, lol. I had to pause twice to go get equipment, stab ball and step, I could have done without the step but the SB was used a lot. There's a nice mix of weight and bodyweight exercises, which kept my HR up the whole time. I'm not real happy when the cardio effect interfers with my lifting but it wasn't too bad that I had to stop or rest.

Hubby has to go out of town for work most of next week. They are sending him to a training class and they gave everyone uniform allowences {months overdue now}. We are a tad confused since they are closing the hanger, but maybe they really expect everyone to transfer?

Andrea, sorry to hear you are feeling badly. Enjoy the rest.

FnV...no more apologies necessary as far as I am concerned. As you said, on to the regulary scheduled drama ;)

Peng...sounds like some kinda thunder. We're making homemade pizzas on the grill tonight and storms are heading our way so it's a race against the weather!

Andrea...I'm creeped out by trying a Netty pot lol! The weather is in the 60's today and will be tomorrow for the game, I love it. Good luck with Oklahoma (?)
 
OK, I'm all for some regularly scheduled drama! I am in some kind of a funk!

Rich took the dogs to the dog park today while I was attempting my workout. That failed so I was grumpy and didn't feel well, then he got home and told me Pinto had behaved VERY BADLY and basically the beach at the dog park (on a lake) was full when they got there and thanks to Pinto acting like a maniac, they cleared the park out. Very disappointed in my baby.

I've had crying jags and naps all day. This sucks. Oh, yeah, that time of the month is coming...*sigh*

Oh, and yeah, we get to play OU tomorrow night. Gaaaaaahhhhh....

I need a reset button!
 
I also did 2 loads of laundry, gave April her Spa Day, dusted and ‘curated’ the LR shelves because I was sick of looking at the same stuff, had leftovers for dinner, then Hubby and I went for a mile walk. We are currently waiting for the new season of Haven to begin on SyFy. Hubby made us peach shakes all by himself, lol, I haven't seen the kitchen yet, but I'm sure its a mess.

Faith, thank you, I appreciate that.

Andrea, I'm so sorry today has been so bad for you. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better. Your comments about Pinto reminded me of the beach scene from Marley and Me.

Stacy, we've never grilled pizzas, that sounds like fun. unless its raining!
 
I did the Athletic Training Extreme premix this morning with a few modifications and I added on abs.

Now I'm off to put air in my bike tires, we're biking to the football game today :)

Have a good Saturday everyone!
 
We had a slight hope that Hubby would have a job past Dec, but we got the news yesterday that it won't happen. The company has just decided to shut down here in Memphis; there's no talk of asking people to transfer, thanks for your 20 years of service. Just Goodbye. Which is why its so weird to send Hubby for training. Now?

Today is cardio day and I get to clean house. My shoulders and triceps are sore from yesterdays workout, too.

Funny story. April is not allowed on the furniture, but we know she sneaks up on the love seat while we are gone. So when my parents came to pick me up for Bible study on Thurs, Hubby was curled up on the couch when we left. As I was locking the door I hear Hubby yell "NO! Bad dog!". April had forgotten that Hubby was home and tried to climb up on the love seat as I was leaving. LOL. We decided we need to try that again sometime. Silly Dog!
 
Ha! Aren't dogs the funniest lil creatures?

My Cats are doing awesome! Up 10-6 at the half over the evil OU Sooners. We were 15 point underdogs. Still another half to go..can I stay awake for it? Should I?

Feeling better but have a slight cough, feels a little like bronchitis. Probably from the weather changing so much.

No workout today but I did log over 10,000 steps on my pedometer. :) Long day at work today, longer one tomorrow...working short-staffed is sooooo fun.
 
Hi Ladies,
Thanks. I am going to give the check in a little break. I can focus on what I need to do and give the awkwardness time to air out. Andrea, feel better soon.
 
Peng, our dogs are spoiled, they can sit on furniture. They pretty much rule the roost, but they dont shed so it's not so bad.

Andrea, saw that your team won, woo hoo!!

I've got errands to run, planning on a yet to be decided workout, but going out of town early afternoon just for the evening so gotta get my butt in gear soon!

FnV, hope the rest/break does you well :)
 
Hubby came home early with a stress headache on Sat but felt better after several hours sleep. since he has to go out of town tomorrow {his second off day} we had to do all the 'weekend' things and planning and errands for his trip today. So we are tired! I made chili and cornbread tonight as a treat for Hubby. Its supposed to rain all next week.

I think I"m going to do a body part a day + cardio this week.
 
I woke up cold this morning and wasn't very happy about it. Hubby left this morning for his work trip, usually he leaves for work and I'm still half asleep when we say goodbye but today we were both up and I watched him leave which was much worse:(. He feels going on this trip is a waste of his time, training for a job they will lay him off of in two months, when he could be out looking for another job.

I'm going to try 'body part a day' + cardio, mostly because I've never tried it before and I'm trying to keep cardio in the mix, but I may sneak a few extra body parts in here and there just to keep me interested. A workout of just triceps sounds a bit short and boring.
 
LOL...our dogs rule the roost, shed, all that...just wish I could teach them to vacuum!

Yowza what a weekend. Quite a long day yesterday, after four hours of sleep, a rough day of work, then home to help my hubby get ready for his trip, back up at 4 am to take him to the airport, home to let the monsters out before I went to work, then another busy day at work...I'm POOPED! Was going to do Push/Pull today but am still coughing a bit and feeling creaky, I know I need to get a good night's sleep then plan to tackle it tomorrow early, and add in LIS with abs later in the day. I have ZERO obligations for the next two days as far as work or hubby so I should be able to get back on track! Just a couple of dog-monsters to walk.

I am so craving an apple right now, one of my favorite Honeycrisps, but have nap-head and don't want to fix my hair just to head out to the store. I picked up some Pad Thai on the way home from work as a little reward for making it through the weekend. It was HORRIBLE! Didn't taste good, gave me a headache, I won't be eating at that place again (that was my first time going there). Reason number 3234 why I shouldn't eat stuff like that.

So Peng, I am lonely this week too! Rich went to visit his parents for the week. Maybe they are training your hubby and his coworkers to make it easier for them to get another job? Just a thought, I don't know what he does, but I agree it is odd that they would do that.

Stacy...going to re-watch the lastest episode of Kansas State football, probably tomorrow! So fun...I have a good friend at work who is an Ohio State fan, he was a little nervous about your game this past weekend, he was telling me about it today. Can't win em all by 40 :)

OK, 100% certain I will check in with at least one workout tomorrow.
 
Long day at work, on 4 hrs sleep, but I'm home and just made a big pot of homemade chicken noodle soup. It hit the spot.

No workout today, but plan on a good long workout tomorrow.

I'll chat more later, just wanna sit and relax now!
 
I did the wu, chest, stretch from Amy's All-Pump Xtreme, I wasn't crazy about this one, the music is too loud and we did chest with no flys, I happen to like flys, also I subbed bench press for the weird 'falling' pushups.

Next I did the Triple Tabata premix from Cathe's Crossfire, Loved that! The premix is the low impact tabata, plyo tabata and the firewalker tabata. I don't do high impact so I subbed a lot of things {such as 'football feet' for tuck jumps} and I didn't use the bands.

Andrea, I hope you are feeling better. I prefer to make stirfry but Mr Impaitent isn't always willing to wait for me to make it. Our favorite place closed recently so we haven't looked for another. My 80lb furball is afriad of the vacuum, she won't even be in the same room with it, much less use it. The vac has a dog grooming attachment but I've never tried it.

Stacy, chicken soup sounds good. I have leftover onion and potato tart which I might eat with turkey meatballs.
 
Not a great nights sleep, I woke up at 2:28, 3:28, 4:28, you get the idea. I was hoping I'd get to sleep late but I woke at 6something and couldn't get back to sleep.:mad: I woke up cold yesterday so I put an extra quilt on the bed but then didn't need it. Laundry and other chores for today. Today is Legs so I think I'll pick a STS Plyo Legs workout.
